If you’ve been following the latest headlines in the cryptocurrency world this week then you most certainly would have read about the recent crowdfunding campaign for WAVES platform. After successfully raising over $16 million, WAVES is now ranked as the sixth highest funded crowdfunding campaign of all time, followed closely behind Etherium.
CEO and WAVES founder Sasha Ivanov is currently at the forefront of a complete market and financial industry disruption. He plans to release WAVES as a full-scale platform for decentralized crowdfunding, community management and encrypted messaging all packaged neatly into a lightweight Google Chrome plugin, and available at the click of a button.
With this new platform being completely coded from scratch, Ivanov has a huge task ahead, however with his in depth understanding of the industry combined with his close connections to the cryptocurrency community, it seems as though this project will surely come together in the not too distant future.
Luckily for me, I was able to have Sasha on the show and ask him a ton of in depth and personal questions about how he plans to manage this incredible $16 million project. This is a must listen episode and an extremely rare opportunity to gain a valuable insight into into the mind of a multi-million dollar entrepreneur who is literally going to change the way the world does business!
